Just watched the 2nd half again. Yep, sucker for punishment!
Although it is somewhat feint praise, the endeavour was there... efficiency and proper passing by foot, was not. As others have noted, we tend to kick it on the head of our team mates and don't often enough kick it to their run and space - the backline does, but delivery to forwards needs much work. Some of the passes to JSOS & Charlie were just horrible.
We can forget JSOS and Fisher getting dropped, but LOB, Honey and small Durds need Magoo time. Honey was awful.
Cincotta was one of our better defenders, with good work by hand and foot but let himself down by being run-down... team mates not telling him he was hot? Young & Weiters are down on form. Gov was okay/good. Really missed the composure and smarts of Doc/Saady. Newman tried to be too cute by foot too often.
I think Fog would be an upgrade on small Durds at present. And Carroll an upgrade on Honey. LOB probably survives as the sub for another week.
Boyd and Cottrell should be available in the next few weeks.
If you get a chance check out the hold on JSOS at about the 1-2 minute mark of the 3rd... right in front of the umpire, JSOS jumper was being held - plainly. Though I guess that's counter-balanced by a few gifts we received in the first half.
I'm not as pessimistic as some. Yes, we've been average to below average most of the season thus far. The only way is up, and our first half against the Aints was really good and better conversion would have made all the difference... but there too often seems to be an 'if only.'
If we bring the first half intensity of the Aints game for the entire game, along with better conversion, we'll account for the Weagles quite comfortably.

Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
